Icon of Jamaican Music
New York, NY, March 1, 2007
Baba Roots’ First Annual Awards and Tribute to “Women in Reggae”
presentation honors Sister Carol, a female Icon of Reggae on Saturday March 28, 2009 at Club Rehab, 25 Avenue B in Manhattan.
Known as “Mother Culture”, Sister Carol, in career spanning over 20 years, has
amassed a catalog of music which draws on the rich Jamaican cultural heritage fused with social consciousness. Many in the international music scene came to appreciate Sister Carol through Jonathan Demme’s movies, Something Special and Married to Mob, but in a prolific career, the Grammy-nominated artist has 8 albums, many singles and several world tours to her credit. She has also appeared CBS’ David Letterman Show and NBC’S Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and has been praised in such publications as Bill Board and the Village Voice.
According to Grace Vanriel, Sr. VP of Operations of Baba Roots USA, “Baba Roots is proud to launch this annual Women’s History Month event to celebrate not only the female contribution to Reggae but also to recognize positive, socially-conscious Reggae performers. Sister Carol was a natural choice for the first award; the fact that she has excelled in a musical genre dominated by men while remaining positive in her lyrics epitomizes the spirit of the Baba Roots', Women in Reggae Award.”
The 2009 Women in Reggae Award is sponsored by Forever Reggae TV, The Reggae Source Magazine, Uptown Juice Bar, DASK Entertainment, Live Reggae NYC and features a host of Reggae artists, new and established-who will perform in tribute to sister Carol. Among the scheduled performers are K Vibes, Nahlia Bird, Rochelle Brown, Rob Simion, Bigga Hatian and Paul Wayne and Sister Carol herself. Music will be provided by three of New York’s leading Reggae sounds - Radio Host Bobby Channel 1 of 93.5 FM alongside legendary Selectors Mickey Assassin & Ruddy Virgo.
The doors open at 9 PM with VIP networking followed by the awards presentation and performances and ends with an after party. The cost of general admission is $15 before midnight, with limited advance VIP tickets available at $25 which includes artist/press meet and greet, a buffet and a special half-price bar menu.
